How does it work?
Emulsifying ointment is a mixture of paraffin oils. Moisturizer is a fat that provides a layer of oil on the skin surface to prevent water from evaporating from the skin surface.
Dry skin results from lack of water in the outer layer of skin cells known as the stratum corneum. When this layer becomes dehydrated it loses its flexibility and becomes cracked, scaly and sometimes itchy. The stratum corneum contains natural water-retaining substances that retain water seeping from the deeper layers of skin. Water is also typically retained in the stratum corneum by a surface film of natural oil (sebum) and damaged skin cells, which slow the evaporation of water from the skin surface.
The skin is dry when the water evaporates too much of its surface. This increases as we age, and is aggravated by washing, because hot water and soap remove the layer of natural oil from the skin surface.
Moisturizing and emulsifying ointment are useful for skin conditions very dry, especially eczema and dermatitis, which get worse when the skin is left dry. Used regularly they help restore skin smoothness, softness and flexibility, helping the skin retain moisture. Should be applied frequently to prevent skin from drying out.
Emulsifying ointment can also be used instead of soap in the wash to prevent drying of the skin.
In conditions such as eczema, using a moisturizer regularly, even once the skin has improved, can help prevent outbreaks of this disease.
